Care of Collections

The majority of the collections are in good condition. Some seldom used sections such as the ore collection and the U.S. Geological Survey rock sets, need cleaning. 

Completion of work of modernizing the Gem an Mineral Hall left a residue of material formerly stored under the cases in the old exhibit hall. This material is being sorted, and everything of value placed in the study collections. A large number of poor quality duplicates of common minerals have been disposed of by exchange. The processing of this material will be completed this summer, with the help of two summer interns.
